Clocks pervade every aspect of life, from the atomic clocks that underlie satellite navigation to the cellular clocks inside our bodies. All of them consume energy and release heat. A kitchen clock, for example, does this by using up its battery. Generally the most accurate clocks require the mos...

WHEN we think of the heroes of the current pandemic, frontline health workers and those who work on bringing effective vaccines to market come to mind. But a Scotsman of the cloth and self -taught engineer born in the late 18th century is unlikely to be viewed as a prime candidate. However, many experts believe the refrigeration technology of Robert Stirling, which he first patented in 1816, is making the vaccination programme possible. His work is, apparently, experiencing a renaissance. Systems based on his findings are being employed in laboratory and hospital settings where a cold...

Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering 22 Apr, 2021 Steve Harelson, a 1986 mechanical engineering alumnus of Colorado State University, rose to the rank of chief engineer at the Colorado Department of Transportation in 2019. In this job, Harelson leads planning and design for the state’s transportation system, which includes thousands of miles of roads, bridges and tunnels critical to the economy, infrastructure and quality life for all Coloradans. Harelson took time out of his busy schedule to reflect on his professional life, his favorite CSU memories, and his best advice to curren...

An update from Stephen Wolfram on the Physics Project. Exploration of models, connections to existing frameworks, space and time, quantum mechanics, experimental implications, applications to other fields.

Shawyer is currently working on the third-generation EmDrive design. After a widely reported set of recent studies all but killed the controversial EmDrive, the propulsion device’s inventor has fired back by pointing out what he calls critical errors in the research. Who’s who in this cutting-edge scientific mudslinging, and what does the future really hold for the “impossible” EmDrive? ➡ First, let’s briefly recap how we got here. For such a far-out concept, the idea of the EmDrive is relatively straightforward. The device, which is copyrighted by Satellite Propulsion Research (...
